Parents Tell Lea Michele To Put On A Sweater
"I think Lea Michele is sending the wrong message. She plays such a 'good girl' on 'Glee' and a lot of kids look up to her persona. Then she poses very provocatively on two magazine covers which makes my almost-13-year-old son very confused and offended. I find it frustrating as a parent who is trying to teach right from wrong to their kids and then you have things like this happen which is showing middle schoolers things like sex sells and all that goes along with that."
Lea Michele is 23 years old, so legally speaking she is entitled to expose her cutlets anywhere. As if Cosmo which regularly plaster words such as "SEX" and "NAKED" and "EROTIC" on their monthly cover is thought of as church appropriate to begin with. So instead of complaining about the cover, the FOX parent should have written Cosmo a thank-you letter on how the tingling feeling from the "confused" 13 year old son actually caused his thingy-things to drop and knocked him into puberty. You don't need detective Duh McDuh tell you that.

feeewit, she likes to show off her breast, and that makes her hot!ReplyDelete
she looks hot :D!!ReplyDelete
I think it's hilarious that that lady thinks her 13 year old son was offended by it! Confused, maybe, but offended?ReplyDelete
xoxo ~ Courtney
When I read the comment from the parent I just had to laugh...really confused almost 13 year old boy...over a hot sexy picture of Leah Michelle...Oh c´mon! You know parents need to learn that there is something called TV character and the actor...Besides its not like her character IS a role modelReplyDelete
She is totally overdoing it. So unnecessary. We get it you have boobs...now put them away or wear something with a lil more taste.ReplyDelete
lol I don't know what parents are thinking these days...just because she plays a teenager in a tv show doesn't mean that she actually is a teenager. I love her polka dot get up in the magazine spread (too racy for me though). :)ReplyDelete

I think she meant that she was offended, not her kid. Give Rachel Berry a break, when will she be able to pose? when she's 40 playing a 30 year old? I mean give it a rest. She doesn't even look that trampy here.ReplyDelete
I would feel embarrassed if my parents told me that. owell she's old enough. :)ReplyDelete
That parental comment is so strange! I think the mom needs to talk to her son...ReplyDelete
Mid-20's women playing 15-16 year-old girls in shows aimed at families with 12-16yo kids... not really surprised with such situations/comments.ReplyDelete
Yuck. i am so sick of glee!! :( It is so annoyingReplyDelete
lol! i'm tired of seeing her cutlets too. she is definitely too full of it.ReplyDelete
It's going to be good for Lea Michele's career in the long run to be seen as sexy and not always as this wholesome teenage girl type. (See Anne Hathaway breaking away from the goody-bood Princess Diaries image for evidence.)ReplyDelete
Dayum! She is making sure she won't reek of that "good girl" image for long lolReplyDelete
Love the pics! Not really surprised by the comments, but I think they are a bit unnecessary...ReplyDelete

LOL I bet that 13 year old boy is mortified by his parents complaining about a bit of boob making him tingling and exposing him as a cosmo reader! I have to say I'm a bit confused, some of the storylines and dialogue is aimed at a more adult audience than teens so is the 13 years olds their preferred audience or not?ReplyDelete
She is annoying on Glee though.ReplyDelete
let the woman show her cutlets if she wants to hehe :)ReplyDelete
OMG I missed you and your blog posts. You make me laugh so much!ReplyDelete
I dislike Lea Michelle with a passion... Idk why but I just can't get over how ANNOYING she is. Not just because of her character on Glee (another show I don't like -.-")
Btw hon I changed URL's now that I'm active with blogging again. My new URL is http://cosmeticfixation.com/blog :)
LOL It's a racy cover, that's for sure. Something you'd find in the adult magazine section of a convenience store ; )ReplyDelete
Well it *is* Fox News ;)ReplyDelete
fox news needs to dissapear. she'd HARDLY be the first celebrity to post provocatively when there are young teens that could be influenced.ReplyDelete
i agree! eminem was the shit back then. i love your blog and i'm following you as well :) xx
I think compared to other covers I've seen, this is pretty tame. As parents, would it be too hard to be teaching their kids that what they see on TV/magazines/etc is so far from the expectations of real life that it's a different scale & should just be disregarded? Perhaps that lady should be questioning more why her son is reading Cosmo!ReplyDelete
Love! Thank you so much for your comments !! How sweet are you.ReplyDelete
i LOVE your Amercan Apparel themed shoot. Hot!!
Let's be in touch!
LOL She does lke showing her boobs off but so does every 20something year old female star.. I think sometimes she tries a little "too hard" like in the GQ spread but hey, whatever floats her boat.ReplyDelete
i didnt think she was a role model to kids D: I think she has a baby face and doesnt really suit the racy photos XDReplyDelete
I somehow doubt the 13-yr old son was "offended" lol!!ReplyDelete
Hey =)ReplyDelete
Sigh. Lea Michelle looks as awkward and out of place (sometimes) as walking in Louis Vuttion store with a whole KNOCK-OFF LV outfit. And if we're being completely honest a sweater really isn't needed. I mean, what does she have to cover up??? Most of THAT is either photoshoot or extra-extra-extra padding. As for the parent ----- Raise your child and be their example, don't allow Hollywood to do it.
Middle schoolers don't already know that sex is used to sell things?ReplyDelete
The Fox mom could be telling the truth. One time a friend and I were hanging out in a skeezy neighbor's garage because he was repairing a cool ATV. The guy was a jerk and we both knew it. But the ATV was cool and his wife was hot, so we hung out there sometimes. Anyway, one day the guy said something and laughed. I didn't understand what he said, so I think I grunted and shook my head--like any 14 year-old boy would do.
After we left, my friend started crying--because he didn't understand what the guy said. I told him I didn't either, but who cares what he says anyway??? Through his tears, my friend says, "You did understand...and I'm going to tell my mom". I explained why that was a bad idea, but the little punk did it anyway. His mom gave me the stink eye for weeks--I guess because I was "in on it"??? That was the beginning of the end of our friendship...over what may or may not have been a crude comment made by a moron.
Having said all that, if her son truly is confused, that's a different problem and it has nothing to do with the actress.
And just for the record, Lea is another actress I do not find attractive--and I swear I am not confused in the least. ;P
Man I love your blog...it makes me holler with laughter every time...classy and sassy at thReplyDelete
E same time...rare combination!
Love K
Oh please- I think she looks classy and sexy! Maybe you shouldn't let your kid read Cosmo- not exactly a 13 yr old mag! Sigh I wish I could wing (and look) as good as her!ReplyDelete
LOL...that's true!ReplyDelete
Man, she lost a lot of weight. She looks good!
Hmmm...she looks good and since I'm in the 1% of the population that doesn't watch Glee, I can't comment on the controversy xDReplyDelete
i dont watch glee ,, i dont know here ,, but am 22 turning 23 at the end of the year ,, so if i live in a free counter ,, like AMERICA ,, it would be ok for me to DO whatever i want ,, some people are just ,, ammm ,, dunno whats the word am looking for ,, oh yeah ,, Drama F'n queens . lol .ReplyDelete
Thanks!! I'm very excited!! I can't wait to have my Asos purchase with me at home!!ReplyDelete
why oh why does she looked awful in all the cover magz? hehehe Well i find her cute in glee when I once watch it with Charice on the episode but other than that episode i didn't attempt to see her again...ReplyDelete
Poor young boy...hope he gets to understand why is Lea michelle is as confused like him!
SHE'S HOTTT ! in a non slutty way :)ReplyDelete
Meh! She won't be the first one (or last) to try to shed their good girl image. I just wish she were so obvious about it!ReplyDelete
I don't think she's that pretty.... she's kind of bleh, actually.ReplyDelete
Honestly, probably part of the reason she chooses to pose like this is because it's so different from her on-screen persona. That's why it's called ACTING!ReplyDelete
i'm scared to be a parent someday. that's a little random but true. i hate complaining parents!ReplyDelete
Um yeah, the parent totally failed to see the magazine is a sex rag for 20-something-year-old single chicks too. Hmmm...ReplyDelete
If I was a mom to that 13-year-old boy right now and he told me he was "confused and offended" by her hot photo, I would resign myself to the knowledge that I either have a closeted gay son or a closeted religious nutjob son. And I would pray it was not the latter. Ha.
Every time I look at her I keep thinking there's something wrong with her face... the nose? The jaw...? I don't know, I'M SO CONFUSED !!!!!ReplyDelete
I don't like this girl TT.TTReplyDelete
She looks the same in EVERY picture! lol and her boobs are soooo photoshopped they look like a mans chest! hahaReplyDelete
Her character on glee is so annoying but she does have a great voice. lol at the parent's comment "confused and offended"? I don't think soReplyDelete
I agree with those who are saying that the parent's comment is weird. Maybe kids shouldn't be basing their role models on fictional TV characters, they will just end up being disappointed.ReplyDelete
I think Lee is a beautiful young lady who has every right to show off her tits.
You're such a brilliant writer, you just tell it like it is! Love it, but I have to agree to some level with the FOX mom, it is hard to find good role models in the media now a days, so it is heartbreaking when someone blessed with a public voice decides to be a not so good role model (I'm not talking Lea Michele here, her pictures aren't that bad, I'm talking a lot of stars in general). As for me, my role model will always be Nancy Drew. Although fictional, she's the smartest gal, always dressed impeccably AND goes to Sunday service in almost every book :)ReplyDelete
LMAO, such a funny post. I'm not too big on Lea Michelle, but I can see the appeal she has. However, you have quite the sass. I like I like. Thanks for leaving such a kind comment on my blog. :)ReplyDelete
OFFENDED?! i'm pretty sure the kid was really happy!!! haha, she looks really sexy and hot!ReplyDelete
I think she confuses ME too.. I don't know what she's trying to achieve here.ReplyDelete

After a surprising division title in 2064, the Trenton Roadkill will once again field a team in the FOBL in 2065. So, who's on the roster?
1-CF Tommy Humphrey - Making his FOBL debut, the 2064 1st round pick is slated to lead off. He should be better than Jamie Kuhn, but that isn't saying much.
2-SS Jamie Sager - 3rd year player, no power, great range at SS.
3-C Israel Mora - Signed as free agent in the off-season. About average.
4- LF Ian Jarvis - Will he have more hits than strikeouts?
5- 1B Javier Cornejo - Doesn't hit for much power or average. Drafted as a Shortstop in 2055.
6 - 2b Fabian Green - virtually guaranteed to have more strikeouts than hits. Has some power when he accidentally makes contact.
7 - DH Cy Anderson - For the third straight year, had more homeruns than strikeouts. 80 strikeouts and 87 homeruns over the past three years.
8 - RF Ed Barnett - meh.
9 - 3b Tom Henderson - apparently this will be his third year on the big league roster. Congratulations, Tom!
The lineup goes R/L/R/L/R/L/R/L/R but otherwise should be pretty lame again.
Pitching staff
Rotation comprised of:
Melvin Diaz
Tom Gervasio
Dave Calvert
Dave Williams
Zack Morgan
Features a bunch of guys. They'll come in to the game whenever the starter needs to leave. Think they were pretty decent last year.
The offense will llikely struggle again. The rotation should be decent. The team allowed the fewest runs in FOBL last year, will need a similar performance this year to have a shot.

Selling a Business in Alabama
Selling a business after years of work can be very profitable. Many businesses are created with the hopes that they will one day be acquired by a larger firm. The sale can be complicated, however. There are Federal and Alabama laws concerning mergers, acquisitions, negotiations and securities exchanges that must be followed.
How Do I Sell a Business?
Of course, there must be an interested buyer with an offer in order to sell a business. The job of purchase agents in Mobile is not only to acquire an offer, but they also lend advice about which offers should be considered. During this process, the financial records must be updated and prepared in strict accordance with Alabama and Federal law. The reliability of these methods is necessary in determining the proper value for the rights you are selling. As a final step, an agreement for the purchase will be reached, typically in the form of a written contract. It should be reviewed by all parties to ensure that what was agreed upon is accurately presented.
What Will I Give Up in the Business?
In selling a business, the buyer gains a right known as "control". Control of a business entitles a party to direct its operations and it may also controls what is done with business property. Since buyers in Mobile are usually concerned with acquiring control, they may be willing to allow other rights, such as the right to future earnings, to remain with the seller in exchange for the cheapest price on the right of control. Negotiations during the sales process are essential, and they should be used as an opportunity to voice fully each party?s intentions and concerns.

Life in MobileMobile is unsurprisingly the seat of Mobile County. You may not know, however, that Mobile is the largest municipality on the Gulf Coast between New Orleans and St. Petersburg, Florida. In fact, over 400,000 residents live in Mobile, which was the first state capital of Louisiana. Mobile is also famous for being a Gulf Coast cultural hub. the city boasts the oldest organized celebrations like Carnival and Mardi Gras.
Tourism plays a major role in the Mobile economy. At Battleship Memorial park you can tour the USS Alabama battleship from WWII and Korean War submarine the USS Drum. The Mobile Carnival Museum offers Mardi Gras history and memorabilia like floats and costumes. A number of historic antebellum house museums like the Bragg-Mitchell Mansion from 1855 can be found in Mobile as well. A few of the other exciting attractions to which tourists flock consist of the Gulf Coast Exploratoreum, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and Mobile Botanical Gardens that earn the city's nickname the "Azalea City."
Mobile is known nationally as a hub for business. Mobile industries include steel fabrication and building, aerospace, retail, medicine, manufacturing and transportation. The Alabama State Docks recently underwent a $300 million expansion project that provided new jobs. Additionally, Mobile's Austal USA shipbuilding company will be trusted with constructing U.S. Forces vessels after winning another multi-billion dollar defense contract with the United States Government in late 2010.
How Can an Attorney Help?
The advice of a local lawyer practicing in Mobile will make it much easier to ensure the sale of your business is in compliance with Alabama law.

This year, I introduced a weekly series called "CEO Gaffe of the Week." Having come across more than a handful of questionable executive decisions last year when compiling my list of the worst CEOs of 2011, I thought it could be a learning experience for all of us if I pointed out apparent gaffes as they occur. Trusting your investments begins with trusting the leadership at the top -- and with leaders like these on your side, sometimes you don't need enemies!
This week, I want to highlight the debacle surround leading market-making firm Knight Capital Group
The dunce cap
Well isn't this magical... another financial company in the Gaffe of the Week column. I'm moderately tempted to start calling this the "Financial CEO Gaffe of the Week" because I doubt I'd have trouble finding weekly material.
Sarcasm aside, the software glitch at Knight Capital a little more than one week ago that transformed the nation's leading order-routing firm into a company panhandling for a cash infusion in just a matter of days goes beyond the realm of gaffe into an unchartered territory known only as "What the heck?" I'm not exactly certain which is worse, the glitch itself, or the subsequent financing Knight's CEO arranged, but neither is working in the favor of current shareholders.
This tale of woe all began last Wednesday when Knight debuted new glitchy trading software. When software doesn't behave as planned, you want to quickly terminate it. This wasn't the case with Knight's software, which went haywire for 45 minutes before anyone was able to shut it off, causing trading in 148 companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges to trade abnormally. Knight, stuck with these unintended trades, lost most of its working capital -- a total of $440 million, or $270 million after-tax.
First of all, being the premier market-maker, why weren't there better software fail-safes?
To the corner, Mr. Joyce...
Just in case you thought the pain would end with Knight's trading loss, grab a seat and some popcorn because things just got real.
Over the weekend, Joyce and Knight's management team negotiated a $400 million lifeline that will allow Knight to stay liquid and return to its role as a leading market-maker as of this coming Monday. The deal didn't come cheaply, however. A consortium of six firms including, Blackstone Group
The deal might appear to be a necessary evil, but were things really so dire that Joyce needed to secure $400 million in financing by diluting the daylights out of his shareholders? Perhaps.
One thing last week's loss did was to set a precedent that not all trading errors will simply be canceled by the prevailing stock exchange. Unlike in 2010 when countless trades were canceled by NYSE Euronext
Knight has made its bed and now it has to lie in it. Between the time it took to identify and stop the glitch and the resulting painful financing deal, this has gaffe of the year candidate written all over it.
Do you have a CEO whom you'd like to nominate for this dubious honor? Shoot me an email and a one- or two-sentence description of why your choice deserves next week's nomination, and you just may wind up seeing your nominee in the spotlight.

Toyota confirms. The new Toyota FT-1 will be the next Supra!
It did not take Toyota long at all to confirm that we will indeed be seeing the return of the mighty Supra nameplate. Perhaps what was the main spectacle at last month's Detroit Auto Show, the Toyota FT-1 is again making headlines–reiterating the fact that we have a very important piece of automotive history in the making. Previously, this car was merely labelled as a concept. However we are now seeing major publications from Toyota heads saying the FT-1 will in fact be the new Supra.
A source close to Toyota has spilled that the company is busy developing not only the next Supra, but as well as an entry-level sports-coupe that will be reasonably priced at around $16,000 USD. This car will likely be under the successful Toyota FT-86 (the Scion FR-S here in Canada). Anyway, focusing back to the FT-1, it was claimed that "If the FT-1 makes a good strong impression on the market, then we will add it to the line-up." It was a no-brainer that Toyota knew this car was going to be an absolute sensation among diehard Supra fans. As a result, it is also claimed that it is well into the development phase.
Unfortunately though, when it comes time for a release of a concept into the market, us car enthusiasts know all too well about the softening of those incredibly sharp lines, scoops, and edges. Alas, The FT-1 will also fall victim of what happened to the 2015 Subaru WRX concept that was released last year. The entry-level variant of the Supra is expected to dawn a turbocharged 2.0-litre four cylinder, while the flagship model will incorporate a 2.5-litre turbo v6 hybrid that will generate a very respectable 400 horsepower.
The new supra will be rear-wheel drive obviously, but it has been noted that there is a likely chance it will use an LFA-style rear transaxle, this means the new Supra could sell for less than $100,000 USD when it appears in your local Toyota dealership as early as 2016.

Now more than ever, it's important for everyone to have some form of health insurance. According to the insurance experts at American Tri-Star in San Diego, here are some of the top reasons to make sure you have a suitable and affordable policy.
It's the Law
Securing a San Diego health insurancepolicy can free you from having to pay a fine. The Affordable Care Act included several changes to the traditional healthcare system in America, and one of the main changes was the requirement for all citizens to carry health insurance. If you do not have health insurance, you will have to pay a fine when you process your income taxes. The amount of the fine has gone up since the country first implemented the Affordable Care Act in 2010.
For Regular Checkups, Emergencies, and Backup Funds
Certain diseases, such as cancer, can be sent to a state of remission if doctors diagnose them early. Without health insurance, you are not as likely to have the frequent checkups and doctor's visits that can lead to early detection of serious health conditions. You are also less likely to receive high-quality care if a disease develops or if an emergency arises. Health insurance can provide you with backup funds for surgery, hospital stays, prescriptions, and other medical needs.
To Ensure You Receive Disability Compensation If Needed
A disability compensation benefit can act as a buffer in case you fall ill with a disability that keeps you from working. The funds from the disability benefit can carry you over so you can continue to pay household bills and survive during times of struggle. Disability benefits can vary depending on the agency providing the benefits and the premium the consumer pays. Through an employer-paid policy, benefits may be 50 percent of your income or more.
To keep yourself protected, make sure you have the right health insurance in place. For a free quote on affordable health insurance as well as auto, commercial, homeowners, and bond insurance in San Diego, contact American Tri-Star today at 619-272-2100. One of our friendly agents would be happy to answer your questions.

Star Wars
Did you keep a diary as a teenager? I did, and I remember it being an absolute roller coaster between exhilaration and despair. And glitter ink. Lots and lots of glitter ink! Luckily, my teenage diary did not survive to the 21st century. Carrie Fisher's did, though. In 1976, she was just turning 19 and cast as Princess Leia in a low-budget movie called Star Wars. Her notebooks from that time—on and off-set—not only reveal a teenager with a crush on her co-star but an almost anthropological look back at a time long ago, in a galaxy far, far away. Her teenage thoughts are even more poignant after her unexpected death last December.
This review was published in Sightlines, CRRL's Assistive Services newsletter.
Not really, but I wish the Force were strong with me. However, my love of Star Wars is strong, even if I won't go see Star Wars: The Force Awakens on opening night (crowds, *shudder*). Despite this, I will not temper my enthusiasm! I have crocheted a Yoda and an R2D2. I am preparing to brave the theaters and the crowds to see the movie. Just not on opening night.
Wildly inventive Tony DiTerlizzi imagines worlds of bizarre--yet mostly friendly--characters and sets them down in words and pictures to share with others. From the Star Wars universe to the Spiderwick Chronicles to his own Oz-like Wondla books, Tony's creative genius shines brilliantly.
There was a considerable gap between the releases of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi in the early 1980s. During that time, the expanding Star Wars fan base began to wonder what was happening to the characters in the meantime. What worlds did Luke, Leia, and Han visit? What schemes did Darth Vader plot to destroy the rebellion? Did Chewie ever get a decent flea bath? Two of these three questions are answered in Archie Goodwin's The Rebel Storm (Classic Star Wars Volume Two), an anthology of comics originally published between 1981 and 1984. Although sometimes marred by a sense of discontinuity with Lucas' universe, the best stories in this anthology deserve a place in Lucas' galaxy far, far away.
"I won't describe what I look like. Whatever you're thinking, it's probably worse."
August Pullman has a face that only a mother could love, only his mother to be exact. The main character of R.J. Palacio's book Wonder has an extra large forehead. His eyes are much lower than they should be. His mouth always hangs open and his ears are underdeveloped and cauliflower-shaped. What people do not know when they look at August is that they are seeing a very smart, funny, and capable young man.
Are you a fan of The Strange Case of Origami Yoda by Tom Angleberger?
Then you'll want to check out Darth Paper Strikes Back: An Origami Yoda Book.
While you're waiting for the book, spend your time (before the homework starts piling up) making origami Darth Papers, as shown by Tom Angleberger in this video:
As The Strange Case of Origami Yoda begins, Tommy has two questions and two questions only. Those questions? Is Origami Yoda for real? Not real as in he exists, but for real as in can this seemingly wise finger puppet predict the future? And secondly, is the advice Yoda has given Tommy (despite Origami Yoda being voiced by Dwight, the strangest kid in school) good advice or will it result in school wide humiliation? With these two questions in mind, Tommy begins a case study of the Origami Yoda - how he got his start, the kid behind it, and all the situations in which Yoda has been used for aid at McQuarrie Middle School.
The book has cool illustrations and little details throughout – think Diary of a Wimpy Kid format – and they really capture the personalities of the characters in the book. There are more than a few funny Star Wars references that fans will delight in as well. The writing and story really drew me in because the reader is able to ponder each situation and draw his or her own conclusion on the wisdom being dispatched by Origami Yoda. The author, Tom Angleberger, has captured the unique personalities and challenges faced by the middle-school crowd in a realistic and humorous way.
At our house, there are little collections of Legos in every room, in different stages of construction. But the Legos that are most coveted by every kid are part of the Lego Star Wars collection. To learn more about these, we checked out Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary, which is a truly awesome compendium of all minifigs, vehicles, and other vital brick facts from the original Star Wars and the Clone Wars. You can also see a cool timeline of all of the Star Wars Legos that have ever been made, although I'll warn you now that you will be really wanting some of the older, impossible-to-find models.
Here is a clip to inspire your Star Wars Lego building:

No. 9 Tennessee ends No. 4 Kentucky's perfect season with 4-1 victory
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Entering the midway point of the SEC tennis season, ninth-ranked Tennessee collected their first top-10 victory of the year on the road on Thursday.
The top of the lineup led the way as the Vols toppled No. 4 Kentucky 4-1 at the Hillary J. Boone Tennis Center.
"It was a great team effort and they stayed together -- that's what I take away from this match more than anything else," Tennessee head coach Sam Winterbotham said. "It was really, really close through doubles and everyone played at a very high level. They competed for each other the best I've ever seen. It was very impressive as a coach to see that."
The Vols (16-6, 3-3 SEC) collected the doubles point, and with four courts at their indoor complex the Vols got the three singles points they needed from the top four positions. Jarryd Chaplin and Hunter Reese put the Vols up 3-1 with consecutive set wins on courts 4 and 2, and sophomore Mikelis Libietis closed the door with a 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3 win against No. 31 Anthony Rossi.
Kentucky entered the match 8-0 at home this season, but the Vols came out strong once again at the top of the doubles order.
Mikelis Libietis and Hunter Reese improved to 5-0 in SEC play with an 8-5 victory against No. 23 Tom Jomby and Kevin Lai at the top of the lineup. In their first weekend at the No. 2 position, Brandon Fickey and Jarryd Chaplin broke late to beat Alejandro Gomez and Ryuji Hirooka 9-7 to clinch the point for the Vols.
On the first four singles courts, Tennessee and Kentucky each won two first sets.
Chaplin was off the court for the Vols in a hurry. He beat Charles Minc 6-2, 6-1 on No. 4 to put Tennessee ahead 2-0.
Kentucky narrowed the lead briefly to 2-1 when Fickey lost in consecutive sets on No. 3, but by that time, Tennessee had begun building momentum on Nos. 1 and 2.
Reese pulled out a key first-set tiebreaker on No. 2 against the Tom Jomby 7-6 (2). From there, he got a break in the second set to secure a 7-6 (2), 6-3 victory to improve to 4-2 this SEC season.
"Hunter was focused from start to finish," Winterbotham said. "The last point was as good as the first point. Jomby was playing well, but I don't think Hunter took one point off the whole day. It was outstanding."
Kentucky's indoor courts are a traditionally difficult place to play, particularly on No. 1, where the stands are lineup up along court side. Libietis found himself trailing on that court 7-6, 3-1 to crowd favorite Rossi when he turned a decisive corner in his match.
Libietis reeled off five games in a row to win the second set and down Rossi 6-7 (4), 6-3, 6-3.
In the remaining matches, Edward Jones lost the first set 6-4 on No. 5 and Taylor Patrick was still in the first set at 4-5.
"It was a challenge when you have your five and six have to wait, especially when you aren't at home," Winterbotham said. "I thought Ed and Taylor did a great job of staying focus. It's tough to play on those indoor courts against a great Kentucky team. We took a very good first step."

I would like to first define the motion by elaborating on the key points. Of course, by "toy weapons" I am mainly targeting plastic guns and swords, while the "violence" aspect of the motion is addressing the younger generation, and their exposure to dangerous tools that can cause a lot of pain and suffering.
I am eager to hear from my opposition, and look forward to a good debate. (Even though it may be slightly silly!)
The burden of proof is on you.
Please present your case.
In the United states, for over 80 years ranging from 1920 onwards, the top selling toy for the male demographic was a toy weapon and/or an action figure dressed in army uniform. It is undeniable that the war had a drastic effect on the market for this product, but does this not show us that these weapons exemplify male dominance and glorify violence? We all know of the horrors of war, but the fact that children are being introduced to this at such a young age is having a dramatic effect on them, as would an education toy.
While it is the parents job to keep their children away from such toys, it still desensitizes the child to violent television programs and video games. In the end, they will only want more of the same, aggressive media. This in turn will result in far more crime throughout the streets.
Action has already been taken by Mexico in a bid to reduce crime rates! Does this not show us that it is obviously something that affects multiple nations? In the end, it is evident that toy guns do indeed subject the child to intense periods of time using a toy that is a dangerous weapon in real life.
I await my opponents arguments eagerly and will elaborate further on my points in the next round.
(Video showing the above)
"It is a well known fact that children have trouble separating what is real and what is not." Prove to me that with an ounce of certainty you can know what is real and what is not. Otherwise this point is irrelevant as it applies to adults too (it applies to everyone).
What is apparent is that it appears that a far more likely cause of the desensitization of the children to war and violence was due the fact that they were raised in a war era s opposed to the fact that they coincidentally happened to purchase more war figures than usual during this period in history.
You haven't met your burden of proof at all as the rest of your argument is mere assertions backed up by no evidence.
Mycroft forfeited this round.
Pro had full BOP and failed to prove, to slightest extent, that toy weapons promote violence.
Thus I win.

Occupa provided a great service and found us the perfect office in just the right location. I wasn't used to paying agent fees for an office move but the savings they negotiated made it very worthwhile. I have already recommended Occupa to some of clients that have also gone on to use them much to their satisfaction.

In the manufacture of jewellery and silverware, precious metals are not used in their purest forms and instead are alloyed with other metals.
Hallmarking refers to the independant verification of our precious metal content. All of the products in the Linda Macdonald jewellery collection are verified independently by the Assay office in Edinburgh, through the 700-year-old practice of hallmarking.
The hallmark is only applied after the item has been assayed to determine that its purity conforms not only to the standards set down by the law but also with our claims as to metallurgical content.
Our hallmarking allows our customers to identify the precious metal make-up of a jewellery piece. It is not possible to discern by sight of touch alone what the precious metal of an alloy is, and so the hallmark acts as your guide to the content of the piece.
All Linda Macdonald jewellery collections are made using Sterling Silver and 9ct Gold, unless commissioned otherwise.
Legal Terminology
The 1973 Hallmarking Act makes it unlawful to describe an item over a certain weight as gold, silver, platinum or palladium without an independent Hallmark
Articles below these exemption weights may be described as Gold, Silver, Palladium or Platinum without the need for a hallmark.
If you have any further questions about hallmarking or the assay process then please get in touch with us. firstname.lastname@example.com

I suppose there is a possibility that their beers may also feature in 'Viaduct Weekly' or some astronomical publication too, but as yet my copies have not yet been delivered.

Newgale, PembrokeshireComments Off on Newgale, Pembrokeshire
I first visited Newgale somewhere around 1973, with my mum and dad and two siblings, all crammed into a Ford Cortina, including all the paraphernalia for camping, for the six hour drive from Buckinghamshire to the awesome Pembrokeshire coast. I can even remember the road from Haverfordwest towards the end of the journey. Just as you went over the brow of the hill you got your first glimpse of the sea glittering in front of you (if the weather was nice) and Newgale campsite just across the road. We all shouted "yay, let's stay here". Dad pulled the car into the site and booked us in. My memory is a little hazy but I think there was a wooden hut, a bit like a garden shed, you pulled up, paid your money and pitched where you liked.
Out came us three kids, one tent made of cotton canvas with a bag of metal poles, loungers for mum and dad to sleep on and a calor gas stove. I'm not sure if it was our first trip to Newgale that mum left all the pots and pans, plates and cutlery on the road outside our house, maybe it wasn't, maybe that was the time we went camping in Dorset.
We had some great camping holidays at Newgale. The sort that are kind of legendary, perfect weather, happy times, surfing, tanned skin.
The day we arrived we'd have fish and chips from the café just along the coast road and from then on it would be every meal cooked on the 2-ring stove. Meat, vegetables and potatoes all out of a tin – really?? Boiled eggs for breakfast and cheese and tomato sandwiches for lunch covered in a light dusting of sand.
There was nothing else at Newgale really. There was a pub and a small shop selling papers, cigarettes and milk. It didn't need anything else, to me it was just perfect. Rushing in and out of the sea with its foamy white breakers, making sandcastles, playing beach tennis, skimming stones. The days stretched on, the sun kept shining. We'd stay at Newgale for the whole two weeks if it was sunny. If the weather broke we'd move on up the coast to explore Cader Idris and Snowdonia before beginning the long drive back home.
Newgale is THE place of my childhood holidays. We went to other beaches, camped on different coasts but none of them hold that special place in my memory. Newgale was awesome.
I'd never had a hankering to return but when we decided to spend some of our summer holiday in Wales, a visit to Newgale somehow seemed right – 35 years since my last visit. We decided that whatever the weather we'd stay a week and now I've had my little bit of reminiscing, here's how it went.
Newgale 2014
Newgale sits between Haverfordwest and St David's on the wild Pembrokeshire coast. We stopped in Haverfordwest for groceries and fully stocked, started on the last leg of the journey. I began to feel a little apprehensive. What if my childhood love of Newgale was somehow a bit disappointing. Has anyone else noticed that as you get older things you remember from childhood seem just a bit smaller, not so exciting. I knew when we were approaching the brow of that hill, a minute more and it would be there, Newgale, sitting right on St Bride's Bay. The sun was out, I was hoping it still glittered…. It did.
The booking office is a cute little caravan now, not a garden shed, but you still just pay your money and pitch wherever you like. I was a bit surprised it was so quiet. I remember the site being busy and full of tents. Was that a bad omen? We'd arrived on a Monday, by Wednesday it was busier and by Friday it was pretty full.
Newgale hasn't changed much. It certainly hasn't been over-developed. The pub is still there, The Duke of Edinburgh, which serves simple food in large portions, just right after a hard day on the beach. The bar is modern and it has lots of outside seating. They also have three bed and breakfast rooms.
Next door is the first of two surf schools, Newsurf which offers surf, stand-up paddle board and kyak lessons and hire. It also has a good shop with beach clothes, games and boards and a small grocery section stocking all those things you always forget to bring. Further along the road is the second surf school, Big Blue Experience which is located above a lawnmower shop, yes that's right, so doesn't have quite such a good location, and next door is the Sands Café. The cafe always busy but it didn't quite entice me in, maybe they should clean their windows then I might have been tempted.
If you head along the beach in the opposite direction you come to Pebbles café and Matthew Baker Caravans. It's worth the walk to the southern end of the beach for some great rockpooling at low tide.
On the steep and winding road out of Newgale towards St David's there's a path up to the left leading onto the coast path which heads off towards Solva about 5 miles away. If 5 miles seems a bit strenuous then just go over the first hill where there's a path leading down to a pebbly cove which is great for a picnic and a swim.
Newgale is great in the sunny weather. I was in the sea twice each day swimming and jumping the waves. I wasn't disappointed on my return. It is what it is, a fabulous 2 mile stretch of sandy beach on the edge of the road and it's still my favourite place on a hot and sunny day.

Need to get rid of a couch or other furniture because of Ann Arbor's Couch Ban Law? Read this press release from the City of Ann Arbor, MI.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Sept. 29, 2010 In response to the recent passage of a city ordinance that prohibits the outdoor storage of upholstered furniture, the City of Ann Arbor is providing a free sofa collection event for Ann Arbor residents and property managers from Friday noon, October 22, through Sunday, October 24, 2010 at a drop-off area located at the intersection of East University and Oakland streets. The hours of daily operation will be 12 noon to 5 p.m.
View Larger Map
Those leaving any other types of materials, depositing furniture from non-Ann Arbor properties, or using the site during off- hours are subject to illegal dumping fines. The collection site will be actively monitored on a 24-hour basis.
Ann Arbor's new ordinance, referred by some as the "porch couch ban," goes into effect Oct. 2, 2010, but will have an amnesty period to allow residents to properly dispose of their upholstered furniture. The ordinance passed following the momentum of public sentiment related to a tragic off campus area house fire, exacerbated by a porch couch, which resulted in the death of a student this past summer. Ann Arbor joins many campus communities disallowing upholstered furniture, including East Lansing, Kalamazoo, Mount Pleasant, Ypsilanti, and Marquette in Michigan as well as Columbus, Ohio, and Madison, Wisconsin.
Sofas and other items that do not fit into the city's refuse carts are subject to fines if abandoned at the curb. For-fee suggestions for disposing of furniture, including taking materials to the Drop-Off Station at 2950 E. Ellsworth, 734.971.7400 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 734.971.7400 end_of_the_skype_highlighting are posted on the city's Web site under "bulky items" at www.a2gov.org/recycle.

7 Avenida Vista Grande, Suite B-1
Santa Fe, NM 87508
Raw food diets sound great for our animals, after all that's how they would eat in the wild, right? Maybe not. There are two big drawbacks and problems with them that you should be aware of.
1) Balance and completeness. Many raw diets, especially those made at home or on a small scale are not complete nutrition for your dog or cat. Though food manufacturers may get a bad rap, under the guidance of AAFCO (the Association of American Feed Control Officials, www.aafco.org) have spent many years and much testing to make sure that the diets they provide complete and balanced nutrition and meet the guidelines that AAFCO has learned will provide your pet with everything they need to be healthy, whether they are a young puppy or an older cat.
At the clinic we have had experiences of growth deformities seen in puppies being fed a commercially made raw diet. What might be good for an adult dog isn't necessarily enough for a young, growing pup. While you may think your cat can eat meat alone "because that is what she would eat if she hunted" it's not that simple. When cats and dogs eat prey or carrion, they don't just eat the muscle meat, they also ingest bone and cartilage, organ meats and skin, even the contents of their prey's intestines, providing them with much more nutritionally than they would get from just the meat.
When selecting a diet, whether raw or cooked, canned or dry, frozen or fresh, look for the statement that the maker has formulated the food to meet the guidelines established by AAFCO for the species and age of animal you are feeding. If this statement is not there, be wary as they may not have done the necessary homework to give your pet a complete diet.
2) Bacterial contamination: Raw may sound better than the processed foods for providing your pet with good nutrition, but even the raw diets are processed and handled enough to create a risk of contamination. When meat is initially processed it is possible for bacteria to contaminate surface of the meat. When that meat is ground up, those bacteria get mixed throughout the ground product, giving them the perfect place to grow. The same can happen with vegetables and leaf greens when surface contamination not washed off gets mixed into the ground product that you will feed to your pet. The time from mixing to feeding is plenty of time for those bacteria to grow and replicate. Washing, cooking and pasteurizing food products will eliminate this risk without affecting the nutritional value of the food. Like mom always said: "Cook your food!"
"Raw meat diet may not be enough for cats or tigers"

Recap by Linda Desjardins
All week we had fears of Hurricane Joaquin putting the kibosh on this race. But, unexpectedly, the rainy, windy weather turned into just a windy day with sun and some clouds. Great running day. Seven Striders gathered at Linda Desjardins' abode and we all trotted down to the starting line. Denise Young wanted to PR. Linda and Rosie wanted a training run prior to the Baystate Marathon with the thought of pushing the last 3 miles if they felt good (tail wind aiding and abetting that thought). Betsy O'Brine was determined to do her best, as was Deb Jackson and her friend Sarah Stanton, (who we tried to recruit to become a NSS member and may have succeeded), and Maureen Kelly (aka Mariellen Hayward for this event J) didn't have any specific plans beyond running well. So here's how it played out.
There was considerable north wind but as the course was not an out and back, we got some breaks with two loops at the outset and then ran north for 3.5 into the wind. When we turned west, we were already past the 6 mile mark and were much more sheltered on the inland portion. The race was superbly organized with lots of support and marshals all along the picturesque route. There was really only one long, slow hill to conquer and once we did we were rewarded with mostly downhills and then flat terrain for the rest of the race. And that tailwind for the last 3? MUCH appreciated. We really did well collectively. Rosie ran a PR, 1:59:57. Linda couldn't begin to keep up with her and ran a satisfying 2:04:23. Denise did get her PR by a huge chunk: She sped in at 2:04:30. Setting a PR by over 20 minutes, Maureen then crossed at 2:12:46. You'll find her results under Mariellen Hayward's name. Oops! Then Betsy blasted in at 2:22:21. Deb and Sara finished well under 3 hours in 2:56:01 and 2:56:04 respectively. Great results for all. Then we headed to the food tent for those lobster rolls, chowder, and vegetable soup. The wind was howling and it took about 30 seconds for us to lose our body heat so we passed on the two free Smuttynose Drafts and shivered our way back to Linda's and had an eating and stretching party. It is really wonderful to share North Shore Strider camaraderie. And we are all thankful to the club brought us together.
We know there was a Beverly 5K and we know that Mariellen Hayward had a great run and a PR with her 7:58 pace. Outstanding, Mariellen. So let's hear from other Striders: how did your weekend racing go? Fill us in.

Review of Sleeperkid's World – LUCY PURR vs BAMBI BUTTONS – 33 Mins
An epic multi-round battle, featuring two of SKW's best!!! The lovely Lucy Purr and Bambi Buttons duke it out after Lucy catches Bambi practicing her victory poses, the kind she says she'll be using on her opponent. Lucy fires back with some threats and round one begins!!! Each round ends with a KO (held on a few seconds after the victim is out), a 5 count straddle pin, and victory pose. Round one: Lucy dominates with a full nelson and sleeper KO… Round two: Lucy wins a test of strength and knocks Bambi out with a standing neckscissors… Round three: Lucy dominates with an iron claw KO… Round four: Bambi escapes a bearhug and applies her own, slowly draining Lucy of consciousness… Round five: Bambi defeats Lucy with an extended hangman KO… Round six: Bambi knocks Lucy out with a scissors/sleeper combo… Round seven: Bambi dominates with a camel clutch followed by a rear naked choke knockout… Round eight: Bambi traps Lucy in a neck scissors but Lucy counters with a belly claw. She holds the claw until Bambi Blacks out from the pain… Round nine: Bambi wins via a reverse figure 4 neck scissors KO… Round ten: Bambi dominates with a double foot smother KO… Round eleven: Bambi dominates with belly punches and a crushing body scissors KO… Round twelve: Lucy counters Bambi's foot smother with a pressure point and then dominates with a forced foot smother KO… Round thirteen: Lucy dominates with yet another double foot smother KO! … Round fourteen: Lucy dominates with an over the knee backbreaker/belly claw combo that knocks Bambi out… Round fifteen: Lucy dominates with multiple belly splashes, followed by a straddle scissors knockout. A final split victory pose and your winner (LUCY) is announced!
I actually didn't even notice this was a 30+ minute video until just a minute ago, even after editing the GIF, apparently it's just that much fun to watch. Lucy and Bambi put on a great show for us in the multi, multi, multi round video. I don't think there is an SKW video with 15 rounds. Anyway, the action in this one is awesome, back and forth and diverse, with each one of these ladies having a fair amount of time in the driver seat and I like that the control is done in chucks and not just back and forth with each round. Even better some rounds the one who starts in control, doesn't always win that round. I think both girls sold great, giving us very great reactions, especially with the holds being held on and wrenched a little after each KO. I love all the pins, no leg hooks though, and all the victory poses. Bambi and Lucy have amazing physics and look awesome posing over each other with each passing round. Both ladies talk tough and confident while they have the chance. Ultimately, Lucy gets the last laugh, and victory pose, and honestly, I would have been happy no matter who won, both these girls look great and sold great, no need to pick favorites this time.
Overall Score: 9.5/10

Duckpocalypse review: Duck Hunt reimagined for virtual reality
We don't generally take the time to review cheap and cheerful games, but Duckpocalypse is something special that hit us right in the nostalgia zone. It's like a smart reboot of gaming classic, Duck Hunt, but with a twist - it's in VR.
Available for Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Gear VR, Duckpocalypse only costs a couple of quid.
The premise of Duckpocalypse is simple: you spawn in a wooden hunting hide with two pistols and a scoreboard. Shoot down as many of the angry robots ducks as you can in a short time limit.

10 Must See Attractions in Cape Town South Africa
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is one of the highlights of a trip to all of Africa, not just South Africa.
Table Mountain National Park
So, we've talked about Table Mountain as a mountain but what about the National Park as a whole. There are few cities in the world that lie so close to protected National Park lands but Cape Town is one of them. Located just outside the city lines the Table Mountain National Park is just waiting to be explored.
South Africa is a nation of outdoors lovers and adventurers so be sure to get your explorer's cap on when you arrive in Cape Town. Table Mountain National Park is 88 sq miles so there is plenty to explore! There are a number of different hiking trials to follow that all offer spectacular views and great photo opportunities for you and your travel buddies.
Robben Island
Robben Island is an island located in Table Bay. So tiny, just 2 miles in length and 1 mile in width the island is a lasting symbol of "the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, suffering and injustice''. Robben Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and as such is protected and preserved.
Robben Island the UNESCO World Heritage Site is the prison where Nelson Mandela when imprisoned for 27 years. Robben Island, for many years was a prison and a hospital for people who were deemed 'socially unacceptable'. As such, Robben Island's history can be a sad tale to learn but vital for understanding South Africa's varied history.
Victoria and Albert Waterfront
The Victoria and Albert Waterfront is a lovely way to spend an afternoon and you may find yourself coming back time after time during your stay in Cape Town. Located on the Atlantic shore in the Table Bay Harbour the Victoria and Albert Waterfront is full of luxury, high end shops for you to explore.
The Victoria and Albert Waterfront attracted over 23 million tourists every year so it is certainly a must visit location in Cape Town! The Victoria and Albert Waterfront has many different restaurants and bars for you to choose from; a lovely place to watch the sunset over the harbour, with a cocktail perhaps?
Lion's Head
Lion's Head is another of Cape Town's natural wonders. Nestled between the mighty Table Mountain and Signal Hill Lion's Head rises 669m above sea level and like with Table Mountain offers amazing views over the city.
Lion's Head is very steep so be sure to put your best hiking boots on and bring some water too! The views from the top are well worth the hike!
Two Oceans Aquarium
The Two Oceans Aquarium is a great rainy day activity or if you're travelling with children. That said, if you're a lover of marine life then the Two Oceans Aquarium is certainly the place for you! Located on the Victoria and Albert Waterfront the Two Oceans Aquarium is very easy to find.
Established in 1995 the Two Oceans Aquarium is home to marine life from the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean too, hence the name Two Oceans Aquarium. Home to some of the most amazing fish, sharks and aquatic animals the Two Oceans Aquarium is a great day out and opportunity to learn about marine conservation.
District Six Museum
The District Six Museum was established in late 1994 and is a museum about the former inner-city residential area. The District Six Museum tells the story of the lives of the slaves, artisans and merchants who used to inhabit the area, the most downtrodden people of Cape Town of the time.
The District Six Museum houses some amazing, and harrowing photographs as well as artefacts and historical material that is very interesting to obscure. Like Robben Island the District Six Museum is a perfect opportunity to widen your understanding on South Africa and Cape Town as a whole.
South African Jewish Museum
The South African Jewish Museum finds its home in the very heart of Cape Town. The South African Jewish Museum is dedicated to the long history the Jewish community has in Cape Town and in South Africa too. The South African Jewish Museum has some brilliant audio and visual displays for you to observe and learn from.
The South African Jewish Museum features historic and contemporary information and artefacts and houses the world's greatest collection of Netsuke (Japanese miniature art). The South African Jewish Museum represents the history of the Jewish community around the world too, their plights and their successes too.
Heart of Cape Town Museum
The Heart of Cape Town Museum lies a little away from Cape Town city centre and central business district. The Heart of Cape Town Museum tells the story of the world's first heart transplant performed by the Groote Schuur Hospital.
The Heart of Cape Town Museum recalls the work of Professor Christiaan Neethling Barnard who led the first ever heart transplant and how his work has shaped and influenced the world of medicine forever!
Slave Lodge, Cape Town
The Slave Lodge, Cape Town recalls the history of the slave trade in South Africa and all over the African continent. Although hard to think about at times the Slave Lodge, Cape Town is worthy of your visit. The grand building is impressive and stately but the acts that occurred there over time should not be forgotten.
Not only a location for human interest the Slave Lodge, Cape Town is one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town and holds architectural significance too.

Sefton Liberal Democrats have undermined plans for a NHS Health Centre in Maghull.
Sefton Labour Leader and Maghull Town Council's Cllr Peter Dowd has slammed the Lib Dems who have threatened the future of a project which could have seen the Health Centre installed at Westway Health Centre.
Cllr Dowd said the Lib Dems had been reckless in their "rush to grab the headlines".
Cllr Dowd said: "The Liberal Democrat's were not only premature in the announcement of the Health Centre in Maghull, but they are now in danger of undermining the sensitive negotiations with the PCT and with Morrisons.
"The current position of this scheme is that negotiations are continuing between the parties, including the PCT and Morrisons, in order to reach a conclusion that results in an economically viable re-development package. However, at present, we still have a long way to go as there is a funding 'gap'. If we are able to bridge this gap, then the parties will sign up to the deal, via legal agreements, subject to satisfactory negotiations.
"Any proposal has to meet Sefton Planning Department's requirements and at present, no formal legal agreement is in place or likely in my view to be before May or June at the very earliest.
"However, by trying to jump the gun and claim credit for a project which is still a long way from being finalised, the foolish actions of the Liberal Democrats have
undermined this scheme.
"Their premature announcement may have threatened the potential of all the parties reaching agreement. It wouldn't surprise me if the PCT are somewhat put out by these premature claims."
Cllr Dowd said he and his Labour colleagues would continue to do all they can to ensure the Health Centre happens.
Cllr Dowd said: "It is Labour's priority to continue to do all we can to make this project happen.
"I will be working with all parties involved in this scheme, including the PCT, to ensure that we get the project back on track.
"We all know that the Liberal Democrats in Sefton will do anything to claim credit for projects they have had little involvement in. Even by their standards, this is below the belt.
"I hope for the sake of the people of Maghull that we can make this scheme work and we get the funding required to make this Health Centre a reality."

The most dangerous kick in martial arts is the roundhouse kick. This is why Muay Thai has become the preferred stand up modality for many MMA fighters. Muay Thai allows for elbows, knees, spinning back kicks and roundhouse kick.
To know more about Muay Thai roundhouse kick, check out this video by HowcastSportsFitness:
Why is the Muay Thai Roundhouse Kick so Effective and Powerful?:
Mixed martial arts workouts and training are must for any fighter in leading up to a contest. Roundhouse kick requires overall rotation of your bodies when kicking. This kick produces ample force by transferring weight and making a connection with the ground. For this your right hip should fully rotate over the left hip when you swing your body. Once you have made contact, bring your leg back the same way you cam in, try to do this quickly.

text: There is no doubt in my mind that Michael Specter has in fact slandered Shiva. Words too clever by half have hardly served to gloss-over this intent and your readership has been taken for a ride. I am deeply disappointed by the NY falling for this shameful charade. You would be well advised to regain a semblance of credibility by publishing the sound responses to Specter, (at least two including Ms Shiva's). While Shiva's comprehensive response also rebuts specifics relevant to her, I would also be happy to provide an overview of just how serious the GMO Regulatory shambles-of-a-policy is for India, her future well-being and ability to THRIVE not just survive. These matters have a direct bearing on Specter's significant distance from the truth exhibited in his article in the NY. This is the sum and substance of the Specter article, which the editorial board of the NY unfortunately chose to carry. Why would you risk your reputation is the obvious question?

What Makes A Great Restaurant
You pay a restaurant not just for the food that you eat, you pay the restaurant for their good and relaxing ambiance, the things that you see on their wall, the music that they play while you are enjoying a splendid meal and the like. You pay the restaurant to be a good and great one; and what makes a restaurant a great place to eat? Is it the food that they serve? The people who serve? The price of the items they serve? What?
There are many factors in considering a good restaurant.
If you are looking for the best restaurant, then you should get your paper and list these things on your checklist:
Quality of Food
This is the most important factor for a good restaurant —the quality of the thing that they are selling: food. This is easy for people to determine if the food that is being served at a restaurant is good, though there are some people who have more sophisticated taste when it comes to food to the point that just by tasting the served food, they already know the ingredients used in cooking them.
First and foremost, the quality of food is based on its taste: is the food too brackish? Is it sour? Bitter? Or is it just right to be enjoyed
Texture & Feel
For example, you are served a veggie salad, are your vegetables crispy? Or are they mushy? If the texture of the food is not that good, then it's a bad sign.
Taste and Texture are only two of the components that make a restaurant food a great one.
Restaurant Service
This is also an important aspect to look for in a great restaurant. The fact that you are in a restaurant means someone will cook for you, will serve the food for you and will take care of you if you need something, if the people or the staff in the restaurant cannot do their jobs properly, then they (or the restaurant) is not worth paying for.
This aspect commonly comes down to whoever is serving you. Is the server kind or gentle? Is he courteous? Does he treat his customers with respect? Is he prompt when you are asking for something?
Another thing to look out for is how the server communicates with the customer well? Or does he/she know the things that you are ordering? Are they informed of the ingredients that are used to cook the food you want? If the food server that you are talking to doesn't even want to say a word to you, then they are not giving a good service.
The Ambiance and good vibes
The things that have an effect on the restaurant's ambiance are the following:
- Wall decors
- Fixtures
- Sounds
- Lights
- Smell
- Food presentation
There is always that something that makes a person love the restaurant, and that's not the food, that is the ambiance and/or the feel of the restaurant. Is your fine-dining restaurant playing the correct music? Or does the restaurant have paintings on the wall? Ambiance is important because even if the food is served great and taste delicious, the appetite of the person who's going to eat will be ruined because of bad sights and bad sounds.
The Cleanliness of the restaurant
This aspect is tremendously important in making a great restaurant. People regard a dirty restaurant as a place where dirty food are being served, a place full of germs, infections and disease. If workers do not wash their hands and serve you with dirt, would you dare eat the food, especially if the restaurant is a high-end one? Or do you see cockroaches, flies and rodents roaming around the place while you are eating? If so, you are eating at an unclean restaurant.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C)
1. We have established permnent cell-lines in which the gene for the human oxytocin receptor has been introduced into HeLa cells. These cells differ by the disruption of hte N-terminal N-glycosylation sites by site-directed mutagenesis of the transfected oxytocin receptor constructs. The mutation of N-glycosylation sites appear to affect neither their dissociation constant, nor affinites for various oxytocin related ligands. This suggests that the full glycosylation of oxytocin receptor observed in vivo is not essential for its activity.2. We examined the localization and expression of the oxytocin receptor in human myometrium by means of in situ hybridization, immunohistochemistory, and Northern and Western blotting. In the term pregnant myometrium, oxytocin receptor was expressed in uterine smmoth muscles. The level of oxytocin receptor transcripts increased according to the course of pregnancy. We also found that the receptor protein was augmented at term and after the onset of labor.3. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the 5'-flanking region of the mouse oxytocin receptor gene, and compared the sequence with human, rat, and bovine sequence. This comparison revealed that a region commencing at nt-1671 to -1581 was a clear homology among the species. This sequence information will help to characterize the regulatory components of oxytocin receptor.

Zoning Board of Appeals — Meeting
Minutes — June 12, 2008
A duly posted meeting of the Zoning Board of Appeals was held at the Selectmen's Office, at 51 Bridge Street, Shelburne.
Present: Joseph Palmeri, Ted Merrill, John Taylor, William Sweeney, Catherine Smith, Lowell Laporte. Laurie MacLeod
Absent: None
Chairman Joe Palmeri opened the meeting at 7:10 pm.
The Chair updated members about inquires concerning the telecommunications bylaw, a shared clerk for town boards, and preparation of an official copy of the new zoning map.
At 7:30PM Palmeri recessed the meeting for the purpose of continuing the public hearing on the Special Permit of Jessica Murrow to operate a Bed & Breakfast (see hearing minutes). At 7:38PM Palmeri called the regular meeting back to order following the close of the hearing.
The Chair opened deliberation on the Special Permit application by Murrow. The board discussed that the application was made prior to the advertisement of the bylaw changes and therefore it is subject to the rules/bylaws approved 5/4/99. The board reviewed the criteria for special permitting of bed & breakfasts. There was discussion on parking, driveways, and potential conditions for permitting.
Sweeney moved to grant a Special Permit, under Section 126.96.36.199, to Jessica Murrow to operate a two-room bed and breakfast at 35 Mechanic Street, subject to the following special permit condition: (1) the applicant must provide to the ZBA an acceptable updated schematic sketch showing the new driveway dimensions and parking spaces. Merrill seconded the motion. After further discussion the board voted to approve the motion.
Voting in Favor: Merrill, Sweeney, Palmeri, Smith, MacLeod
The Board reviewed and voted on prior minutes:
Smith moved and Sweeney seconded approval of the 6/5/08 meeting minutes, with corrections of punctuation, and corrections adding the date set for the Murrow hearing and that the Chair has provided information in response to the records request before the date of the meeting. So voted unanimously.
Laporte moved and Merrill seconded approval of the 6/5/08 Hearing minutes. So voted unanimously.
MacLeod left the meeting at this point.
The Chair recognized Selectman Joseph Judd who discussed the recent draft of a job description for a ZBA clerical assistant. Judd explained that the Board of Selectmen provided the draft for ZBA input and has not made any decisions on whether it should be 1 person or more than 1, etc.
The board discussed the value of "engineered plans" versus "professional surveys" versus sketches. Building Inspector/ZEO Jim Hawkins advised the Chair that his office requires professional surveys where lot dimensions are required as "engineers" are not trained to do surveying.
The board met with Terry Mosher and John Payne concerning obtaining an official copy of the new zoning map. The Chair feels that the Town should maintain a "certified copy" that is stamped by the Town Clerk. Payne advised that a laminated plan will be posted in Town Hall and he felt a certified copy was not necessary but the ZBA certainly could have one prepared. There was further discussion on scheduling of rooms and hearing at Town Hall, the proposed clerical post, abandoned and un-maintained roads, and input from other Boards at or relative to ZBA hearings.
The Chair opened deliberation on the Request for Variance from Terry Kimball. The Chair reviewed prior advice from Counsel about the extent of encroachment into a set back; Counsel advised that the encroachment needed to be reasonable and the prior request to reduce the 25' set back to 1' was excessive, and the 6.5' now proposed could also be considered excessive. Counsel also indicated that since the applicant was already using the property for a dwelling the Board may, or may not, consider a garage addition a vital extension of the structure/use in determining a "hardship".
The Board discussed the requirements of Section 10 of Chapter 40A relative to variances and whether the applicant met the requirements. The Board debated whether the applicant had "substantial hardship", whether the proposed addition would be a "substantial detriment to the public good" in its impact on the right of way for Old Albany Road, and whether a reduction in the set back distance was "substantially derogating" from the intent of the bylaw approved by the voters.
It was noted that the set back requirements were not changed in the recent bylaw changes, and while the new bylaws govern the decision, the rules and dimensions are the same as when the applicant applied and withdrew in 2006.
Merrill moved to grant a Variance to the set back requirements in Section 5.2 (in the RA district), to Terry Kimball to allow for the addition of a two-car garage on his lot at 216 Old Albany Road as per the surveyed plan prepared by Edward Muszynski dated 2/9/2007, and allow the setback to be reduced to 6.5-14.5' based on the findings of this Board. Taylor seconded. After further discussion the board voted and the request was denied as four votes are needed to grant a variance request.
Voting in Favor: Merrill, Taylor, Laporte
Merrill moved to change the July meeting date from 7/3/08 to 7/10/08 at 7PM at Town Hall. Taylor seconded and so voted unanimously.
Taylor moved to adjourn, seconded by Laporte, and it was so voted at 10:00 pm.
Respectfully submitted,
John E Taylor

There are around 160 million workers in the US alone, and most companys' largest expense is payroll. In fact in most businesses payroll is 40% or more of total revenue, meaning that total US payroll expense is many billions of dollars.
How well do organizations truly understand what drives performance among their workforce? The answer: not really very well. Do we know why one sales person outperforms his peers? Do we understand why certain leaders thrive and others flame out? Can we accurately predict whether a candidate will really perform well in our organization?

During litigation process, Mr. Piscitello retained one of the country's leading accident reconstruction companies, providing compelling video animation and critical engineering analysis. Reports helped Mr. Piscitello successfully prove claims made by the pizza delivery person were impossible. Expert life-care planners established cost of medical care over the victim's lifetime. As a result of multiple expert analyses, the well-known pizza delivery company agreed to confidential settlement instead of proceeding to trial. Bicycle Accident Confidential settlement Confidential settlement secured for 22 year-old Philadelphia female. Matter involved major international trucking company who claimed cyclist had no right to proceed on a Philadelphia Center City street. Truck driver cut cyclist off as both vehicle executed right turn. Case was thoroughly investigated, prepared for litigation and scheduled for trial within same year that Mr. Piscitello was retained. Team of experts were secured and prepared to testify on behalf of the cyclist. Trucking company elected to compensate the injured cyclist a confidential sum in exchange for avoiding trial. Construction Accident - $600,000.00 $600,000 settlement awarded to a Pennsylvania construction worker who was struck by a backhoe and knocked into a pit. Paule v. Statewide Construction involved a subcontractor injured on a job site. Through the use of OSHA expert analysis, a report highlighted multiple violations by not only the subcontractor operating the backhoe, but also the general contractor who failed to establish and maintain a safe work environment. The case value was further enhanced by an expert analsyis conducted by Mr. Piscitello's vocational and economic team. The matter resolved quickly after the expert analysis was provided to the insurance company who insured both construction companies. Medical Malpractice - $1,000,000.00 $1.0 Million Dollar settlement for injured auto driver who died while under medical care of community hospital. 30 year-old male suffered serious injuries from auto accident with a snowplow in Pennsylvania. When patient presented at emergency room, multiple fractured ribs and facial lacerations were noted. During first night stay at the hospital, his neurological condition deteriorated to a dangerous level. Nursing personnel contacted trauma doctor on duty, who declined to come into the hospital to examine the patient, but instead, prescribed pain medication. Within several hours of the narcotics administration, patient became completely unresponsive and died. Mr. Piscitello successfully subpoenaed the doctor's accounting records, proving physician was dining at local restaurant and purchasing alcoholic beverages while on call during night the plaintiff died. Motorcycle Accident - $750,000.00 $750,000 Verdict in the Butler v. Yamaha (U.S. Federal Court matter): Jury concluded Yamaha V- Max was defectively designed. Found Japanese manufacturers had knowledge of defect when they introduced motorcycle into U.S. marketplace (resulting in punitive damages award to Plaintiff). In this matter, thousands of documents were subpoenaed from manufacturer in Osaka, Japan. Documents were translated and analyzed, serving crucial factor in the jury-awarded verdict of $750,000. Yamaha vigorously appealed award to U.S. Court of Appeals. However, U.S. Court of Appeals, after hearing Mr. Piscitello's argument, agreed that the bike was defective and that punitive damages were indeed appropriate. Trucking - $1,300,000.00 $1.3 Million Dollar settlement awarded in Eby v. John Doe Trucking Company. Plaintiff occupied disabled van located on Pennsylvania Turnpike near Jim Thorpe exit. Driver from John Doe (fictitious name) Trucking Co. failed to reduce speed dictated by inclement weather conditions; catastrophic collision occurred between the two vehicles. Joseph Piscitello assembled team of accident reconstruction experts to establish procedures and protocols which should have been followed by Truck Company during inclement weather. Significant injuries to plaintiffs required extensive analysis of future medical costs and lost wages. Mr. Piscitello retained medical, life-care and vocational experts to provide thorough analytic reports. 6 results found. Viewing page 1 of 1.
